To Make a Multi-Sided Polygon.

This is not Fibonacci numbers. It is Algorithm 6 to 12.

It could be a good Pattern for a baby blanket, made in 2 ply baby wool, but we are unable to buy this any longer in our town. One has to go to Canberra or Sydney or online to buy fine wool. And this in a country full of sheep!

I got up to 192 stitches and then I ran out of wool..... I mark each increase row to keep track....

This is mind map of Pattern.

At 48 rows we have a 24 sided polygon with 288 stitches at circumference, going on to the next set, a 48 sided polygon....etc...as per next Table.

I begin with 6 chains, join them and do 6 single crochet, then continue in spiral, marking end of row with a darker thread eg black.
Then 6 to 12 ( crochet 2x in each loop.)
Then 12 to 18 ( crochet 2x in every 2nd loop).
Then 18 to 24 ( crochet 2x every 3rd loop ie 3 to 4).
Then 24 to 30 (crochet 2x in every 4th loop ie 4 to 5).
Then 30 to 36 (crochet 2x in every 5th loop ie 5 to 6.)...........36 st. Hexagon.All 6 x.

A 12 sided polygon at 144 stitches.

I have included larger numbers just as an academic exercise to describe the ongoing principles.

-------The first is to do with my Land and ecology of the World.----The second is about Art and Health.----The third is mainly a study of Mathematical Series, namely Fibonacci, Lucas, Bifurcating Series. Plus varius related themes--------- Of big interest is the making of models using crochet or knitting ------if anyone is interested in working with this, please do so ------------There are two asterisks **, after all posts in date index to do with crochet or knitting or making patterns for models-------------------- 4 asterisks** ** for Tables.
